Franke Triflow Olympus Tap Valve

Spare Franke Triflow Olympus Tap Valve (Hot, Mains Cold and Cold Filtered) if your Tap is dripping from the Spout. This Trfilow Tap was discontinued Spring 2011 and the replacement model looks very similar (identical) but takes a DIFFERENT valve. If you remove your own Valve and SMR or San Marco is stamped on it then you need a different Valve which is called the Filterflow Olympus Tap Valve The valve shown here is for the Earlier model and will have Avillion, Perrin & Rowe, Triflow or TCL stamped on it.

Triflow Olympus (Valve shown here) or Filterflow Olympus ? It is easy check which version you have:

The simplest way is to check the markings on your Valve. If you have the version for sale here, you will have either Avillion / Perrin & Rowe /Triflow or TCL stamped on your Valve. If your Valve has SMR or San Marco stamped on it, this is the Filterflow Valve and is not this valve here. That’s for sale on the website under the name Franke Filterflow Olympus Valve.

Other distinguishing differences between the earlier Triflow Olympus Version and the later Filterflow Olympus Version:

The Franke Triflow Olympus valve has 20 Splines only one set of threads below the black rubber O Ring, whereas the Franke Filterflow Olympus Valve has 28 Splines and two sets of threads, one above the black rubber O Ring and one below it. The Filterflow Olympus valves 1427R – H and 1427R – C can be found here.

Tip: If your water is dripping from the Cold side and you don’t know whether it is the Cold Mains valve or the Cold Filter Valve that needs replacing, try the replacement valve in one of the cold sides and if drip continues switch. If drip still continues then you either need 2 Cold valves i.e. both need replacing, or the drip is on the Hot Water side.
